...chest of "The Oklahoma Kid" is sparsely covered with hair. In fact, the whole production has little muscle, little mind, small sense, and less sensibility. Cagney is thrown into a weak part to satisfy the ambitions of the directors to produce an "epic drama". All they achieve is a lot of noise, no subtlety, no poignancy, no emotional strength. "The Oklahoma Kid" is no epic,--just a second feature misplaced...

...Livers & lights were scared out of people in North Arlington, N. J. when a 3-in. "dud" shell, buried in a vacant lot since it landed there in 1917 after the explosion of a shipment destined for Russia from the Canadian Car & Foundry works, blew up when overheated by a Sunday bonfire...

Unhappy over his lot because of all these things, Vittorio Emmanuele III has several times been rumored on the point of abdication.

Coach Cariss needs additional pitching strength in the worst way, because Reagan can't possibly assume all mound duties. For the most part, the other Penn moundsmen are an untried lot and need much work under fire to bring them up to League standards. Lin Fawley and Tony Caputo are the hurlers in question, and each has been received rather roughly in starting assignments this year. All in all, it's safe to predict a rise for the Quakers this season because Reagan is good for a few victories but they aren't going...
